Jyoti Pilates

jyoti pilates

Edinburgh

I don’t come from a dance or sports background, and originally trained as a textile designer. I still design, so now combine my love of printed pattern, with my fascination with people’s movement patterns. So I’m no stranger to what sitting at a desk staring at a computer screen does to your body. And how I long to stretch and move after a day of that. I first came across Pilates about 16 years ago in my late 20’s, when I felt it was about time I started exercise of some sort, never having been ‘sporty’ or a fan of the gym. I wasn’t sure what to expect from my first class, but I did like the sound of improved muscle tone and length. I soon discovered there was a whole lot more to it than that. Although there are many physical benefits, the reason I returned after that first class, and keep returning to my mat after all these years is simply how great it makes me feel. Energised and relaxed at the same time, and definitely walking taller (a bonus when you are only 5’ 4”!) I’m certain that doing Pilates has kept the niggling aches and pains of age at bay; has allowed me to do all the other things I love with ease and grace, and has left me feeling stronger and healthier now than I did when I first started. I completed my teacher training with Body Control Pilates in 2008, and since then have loved watching the changes in my client’s bodies and their enthusiasm as they learn, and I have also learnt so much from them in return. I am a supervising teacher for BCPA in Edinburgh, helping to train new teachers, so there may be a student teacher and an extra pair of eyes to assist you in your class!

The City Of Edinburgh Music School

One year ago today, we were not sure how we would be delivering educational experiences for our students. Two years ago, the situation was even worse as we were not sure whether we would be able to offer anything meaningful at all in person. The relative normality of this year’s first day of school brings reassurance and joy. So far it seems that everyone has grown over the summer, and our returners look more confident and poised than they did six weeks ago. No doubt they have many stories to share, much better in person than through the various social media platforms that they have been inhabiting. Our new S1 students are excited about starting this new phase in their lives. A few have had to ask for directions to classes, but good for them that they have the confidence to do so. They will bring much to the future of our school and in the blink of an eye they will be in S6 preparing for the next phase. Being Part of the Community The vast majority of our students are showing their pride in being part of the Broughton High School community by wearing school uniform and dress code. That is part of their contribution to their school, and is most welcome. I would emphasise that although school uniform is much less expensive than the designer clothing that teenagers might choose to wear, we are keen to support families who are struggling with the cost of clothing. The best way to access this is via our guidance team, through either a direct phone call or an email to school reception. Academic Success More detailed information will be forthcoming, but I am absolutely delighted to share that the attainment gained by our S4-S6 students last year was outstanding. Despite the many challenges that they had to face, they contributed to the best set of SQA results that the school has ever seen. Better than the exam-free years of 2020 and 2021. Better than any year since statistics have been recorded in the current format. This is particularly remarkable, given that the national pass rates have actually declined this year. This level of academic success is not just down to ability but comes as a result of many factors: hard work and resilience; support from parents and carers; and untiring high quality teaching and regard from staff are some. A massive well done from me and the whole school staff to those young people. Senior Staffing News We welcome Mrs Lisa Evans to our school senior leadership team. Mrs Evans has been a curriculum leader in another Edinburgh school for the past eight years, and was previously an English teacher at Broughton. I am delighted that Mrs Evans is back in the Broughton HS family and we look forward to great things. Recently we also welcomed Mr Steven Frew back to Broughton HS after a few years as a curriculum leader in East Lothian. Mr Frew joined us just before the end of the summer term in the role of Senior Development Officer. One of his key roles is to explore the diversity in our school community and make the most of the opportunities that this provides. This will be fascinating and will provide further impetus to cohesion and success in our school. Mr Frew was also previously with us as a Business Education teacher. It speaks volumes for Broughton HS that staff who have progressed in their career are keen to re-join us further down the line. I am pleased to inform you that Mrs Shona Wallace, Depute Headteacher, has been appointed on an acting basis to the Headship of Craigroyston Community High School. Mrs Wallace will work hard – as she always does – to support the community at Craigroyston. We wish her well, and look forward to her return in the latter part of the academic year. Finally, I would like to thank our parental community for the support you give to our school. We will keep trying together to make things as good as possible for our young people. Most of the time we get it right, and long may that continue. John J Wilson Headteacher *********** Broughton High School aspires to be a learning community known for its excellent learning and teaching. We maximise student achievement; provide support, welfare and inspiration. We are committed to continual improvement. Our students will be confident, successful and able to contribute effectively and responsibly to society. They should foster an interest in life long learning. We are a consistently improving organisation. Our core values are the same - respect, inclusion and integrity in all that we do. Tolerance and a willingness to learn about other cultures have been at the heart of Scottish education for centuries. By embracing the Scottish tradition and developing through a curriculum for excellence we hope to develop as truly global citizens. Broughton High School is developing as a centre of excellence in the wider community with our business partners and neighbours utilising the building during and beyond the school day. The development of partnership working is important to us and we actively pursue their development. In school, it goes without saying that we provide a secure and healthy environment, but we aim for much more. We aspire to personal excellence at all times. In every classroom, on the playing fields, through every note played in the Music School we aim for the highest standards. These can only be achieved if the whole school community works in partnership.

27th JULY: FREE CACAO CEREMONY AND ART-MAKE YOUR MEDICINE BAG

5.0(43)

By Art and Spirituality CIC

In our fast-paced world, protecting our energy and honoring our needs has become more essential than ever. This 2-hour workshop combines the ancient heart-opening medicine of ceremonial cacao with the creation of personal medicine bags designed to support healthy boundaries and deep self-care. Through the gentle guidance of ceremonial cacao, you will connect with their inner wisdom to understand what boundaries you need in your life. This isn't about building walls - it's about creating loving protection that allows your authentic self to flourish while filtering out what doesn't serve you. During this transformative experience, you'll learn to: Recognize the difference between healthy boundaries and harmful barriers Identify energy drains and relationships that need clearer limits Connect with your inner "no" and "yes" through heart-centered awareness Create sacred space for your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being While in the expanded heart space that cacao provides, you'll create a personal medicine bag that will serve as daily reminders of your commitment to self-care. These aren't just beautiful objects - they're powerful tools for maintaining energetic boundaries and supporting your well-being. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY The only medical contraindications are mixing Ceremonial Cacao with antidepressants, anti-psychotics, suffering from heart conditions, low blood pressure or serious illness. In this case, please let me know on the day and you will be offered herbal tea. If you are on any anti-depressants, antipsychotics or any medication for mental health please get in touch with me. Ceremonial Cacao can cause serious interactions. Please arrive with an empty stomach - no food for 3-4 hours prior to the ceremony. A little fruit is fine if you desperately need it, however the Cacao is very filling and nourishing!Please avoid caffeine, alcohol, dairy, red meat and junk food for 24 hours before and after - they do not mix well with Cacao. Keep well hydrated by drinking plenty of water. If you smoke, please try to reduce as much as possible, especially if it is not pure tobacco due to the chemicals as cacao is a strong stimulant & detoxifier.If you want to get the very best out of the ceremony and support your integration, it is recommended to continue this diet for 48-72 hours before and after.  Open to all – everyone welcome.

3rd August FREE SAND ART FOR MASTERING PATIENCE AND PROCRASTINATION

5.0(43)

By Art and Spirituality CIC

In a society where we are accustomed to always getting everything right away, patience seems to have become an obsolete virtue. Yet patience is not just the ability to know how to wait and endure - the key is being proactive rather than passive. It becomes that essential mechanism we need when life confronts us with difficulties, from daily annoyances to serious problems. Patience is a form of wisdom that comes from accepting that things have their own time to mature. Procrastination often emerges when we feel pressured to get things "right away" or when tasks feel overwhelming. This workshop reveals how procrastination and impatience are two sides of the same coin - both driven by our discomfort with the natural timing of things. Through sand art, we learn to embrace the process rather than rushing toward outcomes. Cultivating patience is possible. We learn to stay anchored in our breath, especially in those moments where we feel we must immediately react to a situation or avoid it entirely. Learning to be with what is in that moment inside of us - in body, mind, heart - we drop judgment, expectations, and disappointments, instead trying to make friends with what is moving through us, knowing that it is only a moment of passage. Through sand art, we practice this allowing, discovering that steady progress feels better than rushing or avoiding. What You'll Discover: How to transform procrastination from avoidance into mindful pausing The difference between productive patience and passive waiting How to stay present with discomfort instead of rushing or delaying That each grain of sand - like each moment of life - has something to communicate if we listen How slow, creative work can heal our relationship with time and productivity This class is sponsored by Community Fund, Awards for All It is FREE and is aimed at adults, women, etnic minorities, any individuals from low-income background. Suitable for all levels experience. By attending this class you release the teacher, Giada Gaslini and Art and Spirituality Cic, from any liability arising out of any personal injuries, emotional or physical release, death, physical reaction, expectations of results, theft in the venue or damages that may happen to people and objects while attending. Pictures will be taken during the workshop, if you prefer not to be in them, please inform the teacher.
